FYI, /etc/zfs/zpool.cache just tells us what pools to open when you boot
up. Everything else (mountpoints, filesystems, etc) is stored in the
pool itself.
What happens if the file does not exist? Are the devices searched for
metadata?
My understanding (I'll be delighted if I'm wrong) is that you would be
stuffed.
I'd expect:
zpool import -f
(see the manpage)
to probe /dev/dsk/ and rebuild the zpool.cache file,
but my understanding is that this a) doesn't work yet or b) does
horrible things to your chances of surviving a reboot [0].
So how do I import a pool created on a different host for the first
time?
zpool import [ -f ]
(provided it's not in use *at the same time* by another host)
